Al-Marimi Trial Postponed Amid New Evidence | Lubbock News

The trial of Abu Agila Mohammad Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi, the former Libyan intelligence official accused in the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing that killed 270 people, has been postponed as new evidence emerges just days before jury selection was set to begin. This is the first time the case is being tried in the U.S., and the defense needs time to review the material, which could reshape the proceedings. Victims’ families, some already preparing to travel, are frustrated by the delay but hopeful it may bring greater clarity. Prosecutors say Al-Marimi acted under Gadhafi’s orders, and he now faces a potential life sentence. A hearing is scheduled for September 1st to determine next steps in this decades-long pursuit of justice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
